PART 1606--LOST EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO EMPLOYING AGENCY ERRORS--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart F--Participant Claims For Lost Earnings
 
Sec. 1606.15  Time limits on participant claims.

    (a) Participant claims for lost earnings pursuant to Sec. 1606.14 of 
this part must be filed within one year of the later of:
    (1) January 1, 1991, or
    (2) The participant's receipt of the earliest of the TSP Participant 
Statement, TSP Loan Statement, employing agency earnings and leave 
statement, or any other document that indicates that the employing 
agency error has affected the participant's TSP account;
    (b) Nothing in this section changes the provision of paragraph (d) 
of Sec. 1606.11 that no lost earnings shall be payable with respect to 
delayed contributions unless and until the contributions are submitted 
to the TSP recordkeeper in accordance with 5 CFR part 1605, nor does 
anything in this section extend any time limits for correcting 
contributions under 5 CFR part 1605. Thus, notwithstanding paragraph (a) 
of this section, if a participant is unable to have contributions 
corrected due to time limits contained in 5 CFR part 1605, no lost 
earnings shall be payable with respect to those contributions.
